Review signals only — 2 user-reported signals — from user reviews, not yet audited by Appworthy.
Reported by users
What reviewers said
Verbatim excerpts from public store reviews, shown as corroborating user reports. They are not Appworthy audit evidence, and a quotation is not proof of the finding it sits under.
Hard to cancel
Terrible — Very difficult to navigate. Almost impossible to cancel print edition using the app.
Expensive, hard to cancel, AI journalism — Seems that the quality of the reporting has gone downhill as fast as the cost of the subscription has gone up. More and more articles read as if edited by an AI bot, include pictures that don’t…
Impossible to cancel subscription — Unfairly difficult to cancel subscription. Be careful before you buy an offer to hook you in.
Aggressive ad load
Clunky, outdated app — The Delawareonline app is an outdated, technically flawed, clunky app. The pop-up ads for the electronic version for subscribers is completely annoying. The app frequently freezes & crashes. It’s far too difficult…
News journal — The screens bomb out thus needing to restart the app. 5 to 6 times per day. Pop up ads I don’t want and thought I wouldn’t get because I’m paying for the subscription. Front page article is usually something I’m not…
Disappointed with this new app — I don’t like this new app. I’ve already paid for my subscription. Why am I now getting pop up ads?
What this app sells
From the store listing. Billing terms are read from each purchase’s name — the stores don’t publish them — so treat them as a strong hint, not a disclosure.
How a review signal works
A review signal is produced automatically from public app reviews by a classifier — never by a hands-on Appworthy test, and never by a human analyst. It exists so a real, not-yet-audited app can carry more than a blank “Not yet tested” listing, without ever being mistaken for an assessment.
A theme only appears above once at least 5 distinct reviews corroborate it — one angry review can never tag an app. These thresholds are published settings and may be tuned as coverage grows.
It carries no confirmed findings — reviews are one kind of evidence, and nothing here has been hands-on tested. The moment Appworthy publishes a full assessment of this app, it replaces this signal, permanently.
A human review replaces this review-derived signal with hands-on, recorded measurements.
Hands-on inspections are not yet open.
